Last Time on the Water In his fourth collegiate regatta, Juan Carlos Perdomo became the first freshman in Harvard sailing history to earn the Griswold Trophy at the Inter-Collegiate Sailing Association Singlehanded Championships. The runner-up performance was the first time a Harvard sailor finished second at the national championship since Clay Johnson '08 did so in 2005.

Sailor of the Week For his second-place finish at the ICSA Singlehanded Championships, Juan Perdomo was named the New England Intercollegiate Sailing Association Coed Sailor of the Week Nov. 12. The weekly accolade was the first of the freshman's career and first weekly award presented to a Crimson sailor this season.
